Drivel elimination.

My dear mother used to say that she appreciated a man who could call a spade a bloody shovel.
This book [the Koran] encourages murder and hatred, and therefore does not fit within our society. If Muslims want to participate in our society, they have to distance themselves from this Koran. I can see that would be too much to ask for, but we have to stop making concessions.
~ Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Liberty in the Netherlands.

By way of contrast, consider the likelihood of Pres. Bush ever saying anything even remotely comparable.

The Milky Way should turn into a giant Frisbee before.

"Wilders: Ban the Koran, also in mosques." By Sara Berkeljon, De Volkskrant, 8/8/08, quoted in "Ban the Koran in the Netherlands." By Baron Bodissey, Gates of Vienna, 8/8/07.
